We were lucky enough to stumble upon this on our trip to St Petersburg a couple of years ago, and been coming back ever since! At the time we were recommended a sweet chilled red wine which is something you don't often hear so we would definitely interested in trying it. As luck would have it that was the nicest wine we'd ever had and is now our favorite bottle that we get any time we see it in a liquor store or the supermarket. It is called Sangue di Guida (I believe the spelling is correct, my Italian is a little rusty) and is wine that we've been recommended to connoisseurs and wine rookies ever since. The atmosphere in here is very fun and is good for all around spooky vibes. The bar itself is fairly small but that adds to the intimate theming and feels like you've stumbled into a Transylvania tavern. On all of our trips the staff have been really helpful with suggestions and even let us have a couple of samples of different wines to try. Always happy with our service here and we'll keep coming back! read more

The vibe was really great- lots of bats and on point for the theme. We had a couple wines that were good and it was a good time. They were a bit crowded on the day we went with a meet up group that took over the entire entrance area, making it hard to get in or out. Would love to try again when its not as busy, or if they add space to accommodate the larger crowd read more

Stopped for a quick drink before catching a show. The location is small and really well themed. They had different themed nights so we were able to enjoy a discount on our drinks. our bartender was very nice but she needed backup to keep up with everything better. Kudos to her for keeping a smile on her face during bursts of chaos. Menu is unimaginative for such a fun themed place but our drinks were good and I was very grateful for the few mocktail options. read more

Came here for the Burg Wine Battles and thrilled to experience a new wine bar. They had a nice selection of interesting wines including Romanian wines. Very unique and festive decor. Small boutique feel yet can take your wine out to the wide open courtyard where live music usually plays. The staff friendly and accommodating, providing good suggestions of wine to drink. Light food offering. We ordered charcuterie had some good cheeses. Our crackers were stale yet that is Florida life. Recommend coming here for a nice glass of wine and live music read more

A wine bar that will suck you in. This gothic vampire-themed spot has a killer selection of curated wines and craft cocktails, plus fang-tastic charcuterie boards and wine tastings. The staff is friendly, and Ramona, the owner, is a total rockstar. It's perfect for date night or just hanging out with friends for a bloody good time; it's my favorite St. Pete haunt. ‍ read more

Very small compared to the one in Tampa. Got a glass of riesling that I've only found inside Disney for a reasonable price, but the waiter provided my fiancé the wrong wine after introducing it as the one he ordered.... We knew the difference. Can get kind of packed on a busier night and only has one big outside table. So you def have to camp out seats inside. Think we just happened to catch it on an off night as waiters were a little scrambled and tables were left a mess for a long time. Unsure. Wine prices are decent enough though and I'll give them another shot as reviews seem to rave about this place. read more

Dracula's Legacy Wine Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Ok... I have to admit... this place is so different and so much fun and it's not just open for Halloween... it's open every night of the week!Offering a unique and immersive experience in a gothic, Dracula/ werewolf themed setting complete with coffins and vampires. Located in Downtown St Petersburg in a small shopping center a block off of Beach Dr in between 2nd & 3rd Ave N. The wine list also features options from Dracula-themed wines like vampire pinot noir and bloody cabernet. The whole concept is unique and a lot of fun. They offer wine by the glass, bottle and sampling flights with a Dracula theme. Bloody Moonlight comes with a sampling of three red wines all from Romania. A Pinot Noir called Werewolf, a Cabernet Sauvignon, and another red wine. I just lived the names! This spot is great if you're looking for something different with a spooky twist. read more

This is a really cool wine spot. Bernie is a great bartender as she's friendly and engaging. They have a focus on Romanian wines here as the owner is Romanian. As someone who has never had Romanian wine before coming here, I thought it was cool. The ambiance is cool. Its what you'd expect with the name. Almost dark, old castle style if you will. read more

Special interior, great music, average drinks and food. Superior ambiance but service was unappealing and prices make your wallet sad. The decorations, music, lighting, etc was 10/10! Very gothic and indeed of the likes of Dracula. The food is a nice addition but they really are more like snacks since it is a bistro. They were okay 6/10. The drinks though were 7/10, the expresso martini was $18 and tip... i do not feel the food, drinks or service added to the experience. I would return to this business because it has a unique concept. Perhaps one of the specialty nights would be fun! Speaking of service. My bartender was bland. Not real welcoming or adding to the experience besides doing the very least. I cannot allow for excuses, in this experience she did not reflect a good attitude which made the experience a bit odd. read more

I figured it was time to update my review of Dracula's Legacy, since the last time I wrote about them here was in 2021, and I've had many enjoyable experiences there since then! On my most recent visit with Mel and a few friends, we decided to do something we had never done before there: we ordered a wine flight! On the last page of the menu, you'll find a number of different options for wine flights -- we went with the "Bloody Moonlight," which was a selection of three Romanian reds. They were all quite nice, but by the end, it was the Warewolf Pinot Noir we chose to order a bottle of and enjoy for the rest of our visit. We also ordered a charcuterie board to enjoy with our wine. As always, the board was beautifully constructed and presented (see photo), but here's the best part of our charcuterie experience. There was one particular meat on the board that was so delicious -- thick cut, smokey, full of flavor -- that we asked our server what cut of meat it was. Our guess was pork loin. Our server went back to ask the chef. A few minutes later, Chef himself came out to our table holding a small plate. "I heard you guys loved this particular cut," he said, "but honestly, it's the tips of the meat that have the most flavor, so I wanted you to try some. I save these for the most discerning guests." He was not wrong, and the fact that he came out and did that for us further endeared us as a group to Dracula's Legacy and the experience they provide. We'll be back soon! read more

We were in town for my birthday. I had researched some different bars that were not related to craft beer and discovered a vampire bar not far from our hotel. Dracula's Legacy Wine Bar was a glorious goth surprise, where you can certainly show up in goth and vamp attire if you are so inclined. As one of the signs at the bar states, "All VIP vamps welcome." The darkly lit ambiance will certainly indicate that. Walking inside, you feel like you have entered another realm between the vampiric throne and portraits of Vlad the Impaler, who looks like Nandor from "What We Do in the Shadows." The interior will make you feel like you're running from the phantoms of your former self. As we walked to the bar, there were rows of wine to pour and hung glasses, with lots of signage decorated around the walls specifying a lot of thoughtful and profound phases. Following complimentary birthday sparkling wines in celebration of me, we enjoyed some red wines from Romania while watching the theatrical version of Interview with a Vampire from the 90s. Regularly, they run a series of vampire-themed movies to go with the theme of the bar, which isn't hard to do given its darkened goth interior. If we lived close by, we would be coming here a lot. Dracula's is magical, very magical. read more

Favorite wine and courtyard vibe in St Pete! Good apps and service. Wives like wine list. Domestic beer for dudes!

I always love coming to Dracula's! Do you love Halloween? Then this is the wine bar for you! The entire inside is decorated like a vampire's lair. Located in the courtyard, there is often live music that you can watch and listen to from inside or outside of the bar. So fun! Unlike some other wine bars, Dracula's Legacy has a kitchen. I was impressed with how many options are on their one page food menu, with something for everyone. This time, my friend and I ordered the charcuterie board. Filled with meats, cheeses, and fruits, my only feedback was that the server didn't explain what everything was. Other than that, the staff was perfect! Both the wine and food are a bit pricey, which is to be expected this close to Beach Drive. Still, it won't keep me from coming back to this fun location. read more

Very intimate setting! Seating for about 35 inside and several tables outside. Hubster and I came for date night dinner. He started with a Leffe and I chose a Romanian pilsner in honor of the theme of the place. Bartender is also the chef, so food is cooked to order. First up was Bruschetta. Freshly chopped tomatoes, chiffonaded basil, a drizzle of balsamic and a sprinkle of feta. 4 slices per serving, so perfect to share, but so good, you may not want to. French Onion Soup: very good. Not as good as Bubba's in Quakertown (The Benchmark) but, better than Cody's (closer to home but way too salty). Still a hint of one-dimensionality, but, I would order it again. Finally...dark chocolate fondue for dessert. Banana slices, strawberry chunks, mixed dried fruits and pretzel crackers. Yum! All in all, I'm glad we made the trek in from Tampa. Not sure how often we will make it back, but, if I lived or worked near by, I could see myself regularly eating dinner here a few nights a week! read more

I love Dracula's - this wine bar is way more awesome than you might expect! There's a TV playing vampire movies, strobe lights and energetic music. In what might come as a surprise after reading that last sentence, the food and wine is also really solid! I was given a very generous pour of bl- I mean wine... and the bruschetta was also very good! There's lots of cool decorations and spooky chairs to sit and take pictures in. Highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the area! I'll definitely be back :) read more

The ambiance of this place is excellent, very fun theme. Service was amazing and very cozy and spacious. Will definitely be visiting again.

Hello darkness, my old friend. We met again during my short stay in Tampa. I mean, come now, with a name like Dracula's Legacy Wine Bar, we knew we would. That said, I had many Yelp friends check into this wine bar throughout the years and the place seemed fantastic from the photos I saw. I'm happy to report that it's even better in person. Now, a note to the ones who have never been: This is slightly hidden. Just an itty bit. The GPS will have no problem leading you the correct area, but then you'll be baffled as you don't see the actual place. So where is it then? In the back! We fortunately saw an advertisement and managed to walk to the back. Also, if that doesn't work, try finding The Ale & The Witch, its neighbor. Anyhow, all that known, this is as gimmicky as it gets. You'll feel you're walking into a horror movie with all the décor. There's a statue of Dracula at the entrance, and upon entering, just take a look at the ceiling. Bats galore! The wine bar has many trinkets, too, and the bathroom is Halloween central. When you sit at a table, take a good look at it. There are regions of Romania, and Europe overall, listing many famed wine locations. As for the food and drinks, they have a pretty big variety. My companion on this adventure got himself a Timisoreana beer. I had a sip and I'm not a fan of beer overall (only enjoying a select few), but this one made the cut. Dracula's sparking rosé was my drink of choice. I chose the larger option at 9 oz, and oh dear, this packed a doozy. They have very generous pours. Good thing we shared a massive charcuterie board to boot! The characterie board had it all. Crackers, cheese, deli meats, fruits, nuts, pickles, and even some dark chocolate. We inhaled it only leaving a few pieces, and mind you, that's because we ended up getting extra pickles and chocolate. I found the presentation for the board beautiful and the food itself a wonderful accompaniment for our drinks. Oh, and as previously mentioned, if you think I'm done describing décor, that's hilarious. How could I forget my favorite part? There's a chair where you can sit and take photos. You'll totally get that Mistress of Darkness vibe. At least I did. I really can't tell you how much I adored this place. It's making me seriously want to dress up for Halloween and we're only in June. You've no idea how much I wished we had something like this in South Florida. The décor, the food, the ambiance. It was all lovely! And of course, the staff was pleasant and entirely used to people going photo happy there, so yes, do indeed visit and greet your old friend, darkness. read more

We have been twice now and the staff has been fast, responsive, and friendly throughout. Definitely give this one a try! read more

Love the Dracula vibe in this cool and cozy wine bar, tucked away in a courtyard next to The Ale and the Witch, just up the street from busy Beach Drive. I guess Dracula and witches go together. Their wine flights start at $14. There is also a tasty looking menu. However, I stuck to beer from their well stocked cooler of various Belgians and other brews. I discovered a new favorite along my way, Belgian Leffe, a variety I usually shun in favor of India pale ales. Big mistake. Next time you're downtown, step off the beaten path and look this parlor up. You'll be glad you did. read more

Loved the decor here! Think semi spooky, and dark, yet very relaxed vibe. A bit on the smaller side, so feels more intimate when you're with your date and/or friends. Server was super helpful as myself and 2 friends had multiple questions on what to order, and what would be good based on our taste preferences. Still pretty close to downtown, so you can start here and then continue on with your night, if that is what you choose. Menu isn't extensive so you can choose stuff pretty easily. read more

Cute spot in the cut a little further back from the street. We were walking around after dinner and we were not quite ready to go home. We saw this fun place and the bartender was so welcoming and generous with compliments to come in. They have cool decor and vibe inside. It's a little small but we were able to get a table. Their wine menu is extensive with different wines you may not get from other countries. My friend used to live in Australia for a few years and found a wine she loved from there. I tried it and it was great. My other friend lived abroad as well and was happy to see a Romanian wine she wanted to try. We also could not decide between the cheese fondue or chocolate so we got both. The chocolate can either be dark or milk chocolate. Both fondues came with a variety of dipping items and kept three girls occupied and happy. Would try this again! read more

Com' on now! This is DRACULA'S LEGACY! It's not Colonel Sanders' legacy or Ninjas Turtles' legacy, it's the Lord of Darkness; Count Orlok; Vlad the Impaler; the Wallachian Prince; Count de Ville; The Undead; The Devil; Brother of Lucifer; Amun-Ra; Count Dracula; & other such legacies! THIS* IS*THE* REAL* DEAL! KUDOS to the Romanian family (who still maintains a home in its native land) for creating this gorgeous & Transylvanian-accurate wine bar based on one of the most iconic figures in movie history! Who can resist the black & neon red decor; the life-size portrait of Vlad himself; the Count's black velvet chair; the GORGEOUS eye-popping bar; or the overhead TV playing vintage Dracula movies! I surely cannot! (The 33 photos are proof. Lol.) And let us not forget the daily $5 House Wines which originate from Romania-- see pic. Listed are 3 Whites; 4 Reds; & one Rose. (Our choice of Red was apropos.) This cozy, yet intriguing, wine bar is open Monday thru Thursday 4 PM to 11 PM; Saturday 2 PM to 1 AM; & even 2 PM to 9 PM on Sundays, the Day of the Lord. (Oh, my!) It offers gorgeous, slightly eerie inside seating & comfortable & airy outside seating @ metal tables in the front courtyard-- a cement courtyard shared w/ other businesses. If you dare, step inside for the multitude of Wines, Ports, & Beer while enjoying a limited menu that includes a Cheese Board; Chocolate Fondue; Stuffed Dates; Hot Pretzel; Bruschetta; Caprese Salad; Brie Platter; four Flatbreads (including Vegetarian); & other delicious-sounding offerings. Prices range from $6 to $25. Want to host a party here or fund raise? Interested patrons can reserve this wine bar for up to 34 guests. You create your own charitable event; become the guest bartender for the day; & receive 10% of the proceeds. Sponsored events that occur here include wine tasting & wine glass painting-- check the website for additional information. More activities may be added @ any time. We did not eat here only because we had already eaten dinner across town; we merely stumbled upon signage for this establishment as we walked along the business fronts on busy Beach Drive. Enamored by Vlad the III, we couldn't resist peeking in to see what horror might await our mortal souls. Thankfully, we were welcomed by wonderful (& breathing) staffer Marissa & the MOST FASCINATING WINE BAR ANYWHERE! Whether or not you don a garlic clove necklace or a gold Crucifix, you really gotta check this place out-- even if you're not thirsty! Fans of the Prince of Darkness will immediately become hooked on this tribute to the Hollywood horror. We surely did:) MAJOR KUDOS (again) to the creative proprietors! read more

Great hidden spot for some wine with friends, especially if you like horror themes. However the service is all piss poor attitude. A friend asked for a cab that was priced $45. She stated they don't have it and a comparable one is this one. After she opened it and hands it over. She said that will be $95. When he asked about it. She told the price is on the menu there. She should have told him it was almost double before even opening it. Making suggestions and recommendations is one thing. But she should have offered a more pleasant service. Speak with him about what he likes, make recommendations based on his answer for wines around that price etc. Yes offer another cab but tell him up front the price difference etc. Coping an attitude when he asked about the price was the tip of the iceberg. Wow don't need attitude. Im a huge wino, so I took a sip to taste, it wasn't bad and pretty decent but definitely not worth $95. read more

Great wine... Great music... Great atmosphere... Great staff... This is the spot for your small group of friends, a date or a night after work for a quick drink. Not too loud and tooled away nicely.

Cool ambiance. Great date spot. We came in around 8ish Thursday and heard a band playing in the courtyard. We wandered in soon after. Amazing acoustics were a highlight - allowing for inviting conversation while also hearing the subtle sounds of "Jazz Thursday". Very cool vampire red sexy place with hanging lights. Very Instagram worthy. There's also a red velvet Dracula chair. *Strike a pose* We liked the Chianti and Bloody Cab. Also, the Portlandia Pinot Noir was very smooth and drinkable. Great and thoughtful food "bites" menu is the perfect edition to any Cabernet. Come to Vampire to people watch and become engulfed in the dark trippy vibes of the Transylvania crowd. ‍ read more
